Etymology

The term 'antioxidant' was first coined in 1916 by the chemist Albert Szent-Gyรถrgyi, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1937 for his work on vitamin C and the citric acid cycle. The concept of antioxidants gained popularity in the late 20th century as research suggested their potential health benefits.
